its sometimes tricky to try out things in a new car...

like the first time I changed the plugs in a f-ing ford 150 van... that you have to take some out from the inside of the cabin removing the heat shield and blah blah blah... so yeah... I see his point

Not manufacturers use the same design for the calipers and pistons. Some require special tooling to retract the pistons, etc.

That is actually the most annoying thing ever! My little brother's Z31 had the screw-in style calipers which were a pain. I am completely used to the C-clamp method :)

As a side note, the Z32 has the easiest to change brake pads ever! I once changed all 4 wheels at an autocross event using only a C clamp, scissor jack, lug wrench, and a pen during the lunch break. So in total, I did all 4 wheels in about a half hour.
